17 15 Programming Instructions Imager Module (K150) Firmware Functionalities The cashier facing Imager Module (K150) of the 7878 scanner provides several functionalities to interact well with the Imager Interlock The Imager Interlock is a feature of the Imager (K150) that activates whenever both the imager and the laser see the same bar code at the same one time. Only one bar code is sent to the POS by the scanner. This feature must not be confused with the EAS Interlock or Same Item Lockout. Laser Gate Control Firmware Requirements The Laser Gate Control is a configurable feature of the Imager (K150) in which the laser does not enable or activate the imager unless the laser sees activity in the laser scan field. Note: In the 7878 scanner, this feature is enabled at factory default. For more information on the imager, see NCR K150/F150 Imaging Module Programming Guide (B ) Note: The minimum firmware version is Before performing any programming procedures to the 7878 and Imager Module: 1. Make sure to identify the firmware version of your If the firmware installed on your scanner is not the required version, re flash the required firmware to the scanner, using a PC or a host terminal requires Flash Tool using a USB flash drive requires Flash Drive Prep Tool The procedures are explained in the following sections.

18 16 Identify the Firmware Version of 7878 To identify the firmware already in the scanner, scan the Diagnostic Mode, Hex 4, and Hex A programming tags. These must be the first tags scanned after applying power to the unit. The 7878 gives a voice message containing the 497 xxxxxxx number of its firmware. Power Cycle your scanner when you are done. Diagnostic Mode R0041 Hex 4 R0052 Hex A R0058

19 17 Re flash the Required Firmware to the 7878 You can perform firmware flashing using a PC/host terminal or a USB flash drive. The procedures are explained in the next sections. For detailed information, refer to the following: NCR RealPOS TM Scanner Tool Suite Guide (B ) NCR RealPOS TM High Performance Bi Optic Scanner/Scale (7878) User Guide (B ) This website contains the software tools needed for firmware flashing. For additional documents, select the option that says Click here for 7878 Scanner Flash Kit # instructions. Firmware Flashing using a PC or Host Terminal 1. Apply power to the Connect the scanner to the host terminal using an RS 232 cable or USB cable appropriate for 7878 scanner. RS232 cable part number (1416 C ) USB cable (1432 C ) RS-232 IBM-USB / NCR-USB 3. Run Flash Tool by double clicking on the NCR Flash Tool icon on the desktop

20 18 4. Port settings must be configured first before flashing firmware to the scanner. Select Port Settings in the main window and select the Modify INI button. 5. Select one of the radio buttons under the Communications Protocol Group within the Port Settings tab. For RS 232 communication protocol, you can configure more settings under the RS 232 Settings group. Right click on one of the cells in the table to either change the parameter value or restore it to its default value.

21 19 6. Select Save after making changes to the settings. 7. Select Use Defaults if default settings are preferred. A message box will display informing that all settings will be set to default. Select Yes to confirm. 8. After configuring the necessary port settings, choose the scanner you want to flash the firmware to. 9. Select Modify INI after a scanner model has been chosen. Select the Update Firmware checkbox and choose the firmware BIN file you want to flash to the scanner.

Select Run Flash from the main toolbar to start flashing the firmware to the scanner.

22 The application will initialize communication with the scanner in the port you have specified in the settings. When initialization is successful, the following window will display and show the progress of the flashing process. 12. Exit the NCR Flash Tool application and disconnect the scanner from the host terminal once firmware flashing is finished.

23 21 Firmware Flashing using a USB Flash Drive In order to minimize the need for a PC at the scanner site, the Flash Drive Prep Tool preps a flash drive so that the scanner could understand its contents and performs the tasks defined inside the device prepared by the host terminal software. This flash drive could then be taken to each scanner to perform its tasks without changing anything on the flash drive in between scanners. Servicing or installing a scanner by flash drive is not a remote operation. A technician will be needed on site to attach the flash drive to the scanner. A flash drive firmware upgrade is the fastest available means for upgrading the firmware of a scanner. 1. Select the Flash Drive Prep Tool icon. The following window displays. 2. Insert the flash drive to be used. The application automatically detects the flash drive installed. 3. Select Submit. The following window displays.

24 22 4. Select OK. The following window displays. 5. On the Target Scanner tab, select On the FIRMWARE groupbox, select the checkbox under Update scanner with:. 7. Select the Firmware from the dropdown menu. 8. Select the Prep Flash Drive button. The application then preps the flash drive. The following message box displays after a successful flash drive prep. The Down arrow of the 1st line in the Scanner Configuration Preview Panel for the 7878 highlights. 9. Right click the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the system tray to safely remove the flash drive. A Safe to Remove Hardware balloon message displays near the system tray.

25 Plug the flash drive in the scannerʹs USB peripheral port. The following lists the different actions the scanner initiates: a. The scanner gives off a triple beep of ascending frequency, indicating that the USB peripheral port recognized the flash drive and was able to enumerate. The triple beep sound off regardless of the contents of the flash drive. If the scanner fails to give off the triple beep, this indicates a USB peripheral port failure or the USB peripheral port was not able to communicate with the flash drive. b. The scanner speaks ʺLoad program in 3 seconds ʺ. The scanner resets after this message. c. The scanner beeps and a triple beep of ascending frequency follows. d. The five LEDs light up from bottom to top (for the 7878) while in flash mode. The scanner reboots after a successful firmware download. e. The scanner beeps and a triple beep of ascending frequency follows. f. The scanner gives off a low frequency triple beep, which indicates that the flash drive can be safely removed. 11. Unplug the flash drive from the scannerʹs USB peripheral port. The scanner then gives off a descending triple beep sound, which indicates a successful shutdown of the flash driveʹs firmware.

26 24 Program the 7878 for the Imager Module The 7878 scanner must be programmed so it can perform the following: Beep whenever 7878 receives valid bar code data from the Imager module through the USB host port; by default, the scanner does not beep when the Imager receives bar codes. Permit the pass through of 2D data to the POS Enable K150 mode IMPORTANT The following 7878 programming instructions are ONLY meant to enable the newly installed imager module. They are NOT intended to be a substitute for the customer s already-programmed parameters. Do NOT scan the NCR 7878 DEFAULT barcode at any time when installing the Imager Module or the Customer s original parameters will be lost and their scanners will stop working. To program the 7878 Scanner for the Imager Module, scan the following bar codes: Programming Mode R0042

27 25 Activate Beep sounds during HH input Hex 4 R0052 Hex 0 R0048 Hex 5 R0053

28 26 Enable 2D Bar Codes Pass Through Hex 7 R0055 Hex F R0063 Hex 9 R0057

29 27 Enable the Imager Kit K150 Hex 8 R0056 Hex B R0059 Hex 1 R0049

30 28 Enable 2D Pass-Through Function of all 2D types Note: The passed through PDF data is transmitted in ASCII format when RS232 Serial or NCR USB is used. This data format is required by NCR OPOS for 2D barcodes. Save and Reset R0044

31 29 Program the Imager Module The Imager only provides a limited number of symbologies enabled from the factory which includes the following: UPC A UPC E EAN 8 EAN 13 PDF417 GS1 Databar 14 (RSS 14) GS1 Databar Expanded (RSS 14 Expanded) GS1 Databar Coupons To enable other symbologies, you need to scan the corresponding bar codes in the following pages. Take note of the following reminders when scanning the bar codes. Scan the bar codes to the VERTICAL window of the 7878 so that the Imager can see and read them. You might need to print and fold these pages in such a way that only one bar code shows per page. You do not need to scan all these bar codes, scan the only ones you need. There is NO audible feedback (beep) when the imager reads the bar code, so hold the programming bar code in front of the 7878 window for a couple of seconds. To know if the symbologies are successfully read, scan the sample bar codes found in the section Sample 2D Symbologies.
